Excellent on its own, as an education in the impact of terroir, and especially delightful in stirred cocktails such as a Mezcal Negroni! Tasting Notes The agaves used for Mezcal Tosba grow among coffee, mango, pineapple & banana trees and sugarcane. The water is sweet and pure, and comes from natural springs flowing from beneath the mountains. Made with ten year old Agave angustifolia, Tosba Espadín has a light nose with long lasting citrus and fruit on the tongue. The flavor of smoke is subtle, a direct result of the driftwood-fired roasting of the agave hearts in Tosba’s unique adobe-lipped earthen oven. A truly unique example of this agave variety through the lens of Oaxacan terroir. 48.5% (ABV varies batch to batch)
